Why You Need a Monthly Check-In With Yourself


Listen Later

Most women only pause to reflect when things start to fall apart — when motivation dips, workouts stall, or nutrition feels off track. But waiting until you're burned out to reassess is like waiting for the ceiling to cave in before fixing a leak.

In this episode, I'm sharing a simple but powerful tool that can completely shift your fitness, mindset, and progress: the monthly check-in. When you build in regular reflection, you create space to course-correct early, celebrate wins before you forget them, and stay honest about what's actually working.

Here's what we're diving into:

  • Why monthly check-ins are one of the most powerful accountability tools you can use

  • The psychology behind reflection and how it strengthens self-discipline

  • Four honest questions to ask yourself every month to uncover what's working and what's not

  • How to use your answers to create clarity and momentum instead of all-or-nothing thinking

  • The link between self-awareness and lasting consistency in fitness and nutrition

If you've been spinning your wheels or feeling disconnected from your goals, this episode will help you reconnect, refocus, and move forward with confidence — one month at a time.
